*happy dance*

If you've been following my blog for a while, you might remember that I applied for a Census 2010 job back in, oh...I think it was early January.  I was hopeful that I'd get this job because it pays $13 an hour which is a lot more than I make now, and we are super tight on money.  When I first applied, they indicated that we would probably be receiving calls if we were hired starting in late February.  So when I didn't get a call in February, or early March, or mid-March, I kind of gave up hope that I'd be getting it.  But today I got a call!  And they hired me!  Whoo!  I'm starting in early May and it's expected to only last about eight weeks, but I'm so grateful that at least for a little while we'll have some extra money.  It'll give us a chance to buy lots of nifty stuff stash money away in savings.  So that's my bright spot this weekend.

I also forgot to mention that last Saturday I went out with one of my friends that I haven't had much contact with lately, as well as a bunch of her friends that I didn't know, and I had a blast!  I think a lot of what is keeping me from being really social, at least with the few friends I have, is this belief I have that I'm not fun or "cool" or whatever it is I'm supposed to be to be worthy of having a social life.  But I am fun.  And cool in my own way.  And I'm going to actually call that friend more often because I have a lot of fun when we hang out.

Have a great weekend, everybody!
